Jesus, as I express my love to those close to me and the easiest to love, aid me in lavishing Your love on those I find particularly difficult to love. Help me see You in the eyes of those I struggle to love. Abolish the obstacles I place to maintain my comfort, that keep me safely tucked away from loving those that You are gently pushing me towards. Most importantly, help me love others that think themselves not worthy of love, especially Yours. Whisper in my heart encouragement to love others I have pushed away so that I may be a greater reflection of You, not the version of myself that picks and chooses whom I love. Amen.
